The average woman uses 16 beauty products every day. Here are the ones worth the investment

Primer is another product that some women often skip in a bid to save time. However, in the grand scheme of things, it’s counter-intuitive as primers ensure your make-up stays in place for longer, so you don’t have to keep reapplying. For those who are concerned with layering another product on their skin, try a multi-tasking, lightweight texture such as Smashbox’s Photo Finish range, £28 each, which offers a hydrating formula as well as one to minimise pores or reduce redness.
